Just like last night, the show can be broken up into three segments: set I, set II Phish, and set II/e with Billy.
Set I is fantastic. My Soul and Undermind are standard here, but quickly picked the energy back up from the previous night. Oblivion goes deep into an excellent type-II jam that exceeded the minimal type-II from the previous night. I never would have predicted Driver, but I was very excited to get it - the arena turned into an epic singalong to this lovely tune for Trey's young daughter. 555 and BOAF were both rolicking, rocking, and at times funky. The place was getting hot. While Ether edge starts slow, it ended in a great jam that Trey masterfully slides into It's Ice - a treat to any fan. About To Run allowed Trey to absolutely rip (and affirm the title of being the best guitarist in the house?), and Walls of the Cave kept the energy high going into set break, as its want to do.
The entire set is worth listening to - it demonstrates Phish - and Fishman in particular - at its finest. Oblivion, It's Ice, and About To Run are absolute standouts.
The Phish portion of set II continues right where set I left off and brings in more stretched out jamming. SANTOS is fairly standard (if that's possible) before they take A Wave of Hope out for a welcome extended ride. Prince Caspian kept the show rolling and allowed all four band members to settle into a nice groove. Light pretty quickly goes dark and is the highlight of the Phish portion of the set.
Billy rejoined the band with one of Trey's new songs: What's Going Through Your Mind. This song is a groove and has really fun lyrics. I loved it and look forward to hearing it more often.
As with the previous night, Billy and Trey continued to feed off of each other, almost in a Duane/Dickey manner through the first three songs. To my ears DDHVL wasn't intentional (nor was it musically correct) but Trey found an opportunity to sing it over their jam and it's delightful.
I like Evolve and love Mist, and they were both played very well, but the odd placement brought the energy down a lot. Blaze on brought it back up, the bluegrass was fun, and Frankenstein put an exclamation point on the two night run.
Both sit ins were excellent, though if I had to pick, night 1 was superior. Thankfully I didn't have to pick and got both.
